OVERVIEW

What is Conductive ESD Flooring?

Conductive ESD flooring is a seamless epoxy system that drains static electricity to earth in the fastest controlled way, through a built-in copper grounding grid and conductive layers. Engineered to the conductive class (below 1.0 × 10⁶ Ω) under ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IEC 61340-5-1, it protects environments where rapid charge removal is critical — explosive, flammable and highly static-sensitive areas.

THE POLYZEN SYSTEM

How the System Is Built

A conductive ESD floor is an engineered stack — every layer has a job. Tap any layer to see its function.

Earthing Termination

Certified Path to Ground

Each grid node is terminated to the building's earth system and verified by a qualified electrician, completing a continuous, testable path to ground — confirmed by on-site resistance testing at handover.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is conductive ESD flooring?
It is a seamless epoxy floor that conducts static electricity to earth in the fastest controlled way through a copper grounding grid and conductive layers, holding resistance below the conductive threshold (below 1.0 × 10⁶ Ω) to protect highly volatile or static-sensitive environments.
Conductive vs dissipative ESD flooring — which do I need?
Conductive floors sit below 1.0 × 10⁶ Ω and drain charge fastest — used for explosive, flammable or highly volatile environments. Dissipative floors sit in the 10⁶–10⁹ Ω range and drain charge in a slower, controlled way — ideal for general electronics and data centres.
Which standards govern conductive ESD flooring?
The two primary standards are ANSI/ESD S20.20 and its international equivalent IEC 61340-5-1, supported by test methods such as ANSI/ESD STM7.1 and ASTM F150. The required resistance and body-voltage limits are set against the conductive class.
How is a conductive ESD floor grounded?
A copper grid embedded in the system is terminated to the building's earth at defined points — typically one connection per area. A qualified electrician verifies the path, and resistance is tested on handover.
Which industries need conductive flooring?
Explosives and munitions handling, flammable and solvent areas, semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing, defence and aerospace, mission-critical server rooms, and battery/EV production where rapid charge removal is essential.
Does POLYZEN test and certify the floor?
Yes. Every installation is verified on site with resistance-to-ground and walking body-voltage testing, earthing checks, and a written system warranty. Measured values are recorded per project.
